Accounting

Overview

Accounting experts understand “the language of business” and can communicate critical information about the financial condition and profitability of a business. In the USA, experts project there will be a strong job market in years ahead due to the approaching retirement of large numbers of accountants. Accountants who prepare well with a solid set of analytic skills and broad understanding of the various management functions are destined for productive careers.

Optional XBRL certification training as a first step toward developing competency in this emerging worldwide technical standard for reporting and exchanging accounting data.

After several months of MBA Foundation classes, you will participate in a competitive online business simulation (Capsim Foundation) that challenges students to work in teams of 4-5 people while making a series of decisions running a fictional company. We compete with MBA programs around the world.

From 2010-2013, our MBAs performed well in comparison to other MBA teams worldwide.

In the years 2012 and 2013, eight of nine MBA teams placed in the Top 10 in the world.

In 2011 and 2013, MUM produced #1 ranked teams in the world. This objective performance demonstrates the effectiveness of MBA Accounting education at MUM.

Two Tracks

The MBA with Accounting Specialization at MUM has two tracks to accommodate your level of knowledge and experience. Identify the track that fits you best! We offer courses to prepare students to take the professional examinations that are required to become Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and Certified Management Accountants (CMA). (NOTE: We have a separate MBA program for people who are already professional accountants – see details here)

Fresh Start Track is an MBA for students with no work experience and little academic background in accounting. MUM prepares you for success as a professional accountant in 11 months to 18 months (depending on your academic background and professional work experience). There is no curricular practical training in this track.

Strong Background Track requires at least 4 accounting courses. No work experience is necessary. The length of the program varies (11 to 18 months) based on previous academic background. There is no curricular practical training in this track. It is well-suited for people who possess a strong academic background in accounting and business, and who want to earn their MBA degree quickly.
